There was a thread about this not too long ago. After a lot of back and forth between disagreeing members, someone posted a wiring harness for the 5 gauge cluster that looked like it would make the conversion much easier then some of the other suggestions.

I too am planning on swapping out the falcon style for the 5 gauge cluster and I paid more then $50 for it. Someone might want to take slickman up on his offer.

In thinking about it, if I don't sell this by the end of the week, on ebay it goes.
